Not the lionshare by anymeans, but enough to be an impact. __________________ "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche   #3 (permalink)   07-05-2009, 12:09 AM Kevin_Kennedy Defend Liberty Member #11774   Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Canton, Ohio Posts: 6,584 Thanks: 12 Thanked 372 Times in 290 Posts Rep Power: 43 I'd disagree with that commander.

I'm very disappointed that Obama is continuing this endeavor.   #5 (permalink)   07-05-2009, 07:47 AM DamnYankee No Neg Policy Member #18970   Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 4,519 Thanks: 125 Thanked 128 Times in 111 Posts Rep Power: 58 Tried to tell you (collective) when the left-wing anti-war gang was bitchin' about Obama's g-r-a-d-u-a-l shift to the center to appease the voters in the general election. No one was listening, to them or me. __________________ The road to truth is long and lined the entire way with annoying bastards Sponsored links Remove advertisements US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum Advertisement Lower Navigation   US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum > Global Discussion > Afghanistan additional troops needed Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google « pray for the 4 k marines....remember them | 7 GIs killed in Afghanistan attacks » Thread Tools Show Printable Version Email this Page Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts BB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Trackbacks are On Pingbacks are On Refbacks are On Forum Rules Forum Jump User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home USMB Office     Rules and Guidelines     Introduce Yourself     Announcements and Feedback US Discussion     Current Events     Politics     Congress     Healthcare/Insurance/Govt Healthcare     Media     Immigration/Illegal Immigration     Stock Market     Law and Justice System     Environment     Education and History     Energy     Economy     Science and Technology     Religion and Ethics     Health and Lifestyle     Military     Conspiracy Theories     Race Relations/Racism Global Discussion     General Global Topics     The Middle East - General     Iraq     Iran     Afghanistan     Israel and Palestine     Europe     Canada     Asia     Africa Site Sponsors     US Law for Jabrones The Taunting Arena     The Flame Zone     Echo Zulu's Rep Fest Zone     The Lame Zone Hobbies     Sports     The Outdoors     Food & Wine     Writing     Pets     Photography and Imaging     Music     Computers     Arts & Crafts Community     General Discussion     Reviews     Humor LinkBack LinkBack URL About LinkBacks
